July 25, 2010 - The DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection panel at Comic-Con today focused on the direct-to-DVD line of exciting short (duh) animations featuring second-string characters from the venerable universe that Superman built. Jonah Hex, Green Arrow, The Spectre and Shazam have all received the treatment -- or are about to.

April 5, 2010 - Captain Marvel is yet another character tailor made for this show's wacky vision, and it is a blast to see this latest episode, "The Power of Shazam!", follow up on the promise of his brief introduction earlier in the season by diving headlong into the character's rich mythology.

February 22, 2010 - To date, most of these animated films have adapted pre-existing comics and storylines. Sometimes the adaptation is loose, as with Superman: Doomsday. In other cases, like DC: New Frontier, the differences between comic and DVD are relatively minimal. With WB showing no signs of slowing down on these films, we felt now was a good time to dig through our comic collections and pick out eight books that most deserve to be adapted in the future. We left out sequels to Green Lantern: First Flight give how lackluster that effort was, but everything else is fair game.

November 18, 2009 - The recent surge of DC characters appearing on Smallville in the last couple of seasons has reinvigorated what many believed to be a dying series. It seems as if a new DC hero or villain is making their live-action television debut almost weekly so we thought we'd offer several of our own, unique, suggestions.
These are characters we feel would be an interesting fit for the new Smallville as it expands its boundaries into the larger DC Universe.

August 20, 2009 - The ridiculously long-gestating comic book adaptation Shazam! movie has yet another writer working on the script, with scribe Bill Birch penning the big screen adventures of Billy Batson.

February 27, 2009 - At the panel for the new direct-to-DVD animated Wonder Woman movie today at WonderCon, the audience had a couple of specific questions regarding what characters might be seen in future DC animated movies. One fan asked about Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, a project announced quite a long time ago, only to never be produced.

January 6, 2009 - Despite recent reports to the contrary, the long-in-development comic book movie Captain Marvel, a.k.a. Shazam!, is "dead," according to the project's former screenwriter John August.

October 9, 2007 - This is something of a big week for Captain Marvel and his old friend Ms. Marvel at IGN Comics. Last night we gave you The Life and Times of Captain and Ms. Marvel, which listed everything you could ever want to know about these two (and a least a few things you probably didn't want to know). Whoever said the Internet couldn't be educational?
To help us in our research, we contacted the writer of the current Ms. Marvel series, Brian Reed, as well as two editors connected to the characters, Tom Brevoort and Steve Wacker. While some of this interview material made it into the guide, we've decided to provide the entirety of the discussion for your enjoyment. Read on to learn why these characters have endured for so long and what the future might hold in store for them.
